Overall Rating

Review


The waiter appeared to know quite a bit about some aspects of Celiac, having dated a women with Celiac Disease. But, he also displayed some uncertainty when he asked me if rice contained gluten. After a long conversation and a few trips back to the kitchen, the server informed me that my best bets were the fish meals. He knew enough not to recommend the spicy tuna sushi. I ordered the Caesar's Salad without croutons, but with broiled chicken. He added notes that I had an allergy. Unfortunately, when the salad arrived, it had croutons on it. I explained the problem to the fellow who delivered the salad and told him not to simply brush off the croutons. A minute later, a salad without croutons arrived. Of course, I have no way of knowing if it was the same salad, but I was skeptical. I ate it, didn't really enjoy it, but didn't get sick.
